The Panic in Laurens County Through
Fear of a Negro Uprising.
CHARLESTON, :. c., June 22.-The peO-
pie of Laurens county have been working
themselves into panic the past two weeks
over an alleged threatened negro uprising
The most blOOd-curdliDg ruwOrs have
been circulated to the effect that the ne
groes intended to kill the white men, re-
duee the boys to slavery and marry the
white girls. and that they have been hold
ing midnight meetings in their churches
with armed SentinelS at the doors. 1t was
said that a white man named Hoover had
been stirring up strife and trying to or
ganize the negroes under the title OF Go
operative Workers Of America" TO carry
out their bloody work. \ company OF
cavalry WAS Orgapized and otficered by the
most fearless men in the threatened sec
tiOn.
Not satisfied with this means of defense,
the people appealed to the Governor, who
dispatched a trusted aide TO the seat of
trouble. This led TO another flood Of
rumOrs, and it has been suggested that
State militia would be ordered to the
scene.
Hoover, who is said to be at the bottom
OF the affair, is the man who WAS mObbed
near Nilledgeyille, Ga, about month
ago for incendiary speeches to the negroes.

He said that President Cleveland was
asked TO visit the encampment not as q re-
viewing officer, but merely as an honored
spectator and guest. James G.. Blaine

the Wheeling fighter. which was to have
taken place last night, has been declared
of.
When the time for the battle arrived
there were less than fifty people in the

son signifed his willingness to have the
fight go Oh, the winner to take all the gate
receipts, but King declared that he would
not fight for less than $3.50, and as that
amount was not forthcoming, the affair
had to be given up.

Bostonians Excited.

BosTON, June 22.-An attempt was
made about two o'clock this morning, by
a gang of nine men, to pull down the fig
ures of the "LiOn and the Unicorn" which
decorate the front of the old State House.
Whoever fastened the ropes to the effgies
ID evidently familiar with the building.
The side doors were forced and access to
the roof thus gained. When the roof is
reached the distance to the figures men,
toned is encompassed with many dangers.
They seem to have been braved by at least
two men, one of whom fastened rope to
the hon aud the other rope to the uni
corn. The basement is occupied by the
Mutnal District Telegraph Company,
which is open all night. The manager
noticed the unusual sight, and when he
rushed out the men 1T the ropes fled. The
action was no doubt connected with the
feeling toward the celebration OF the
Queens Jubilee which arose out OF the
meeting at Faneuii Hall last night.

"Psrkersburg, WA"
This letter was intended for a teacher
named David r. COnkletOn, but the "R"
being omitted in the address, an uncle of
his received it and forwarded it to the
County Superintendent. Though no per-
sons were implicated either in the letter or
in the remarks of the County Superintend
ent. Mr.. A. W. Judkins, member of the
Board of County Examiners, made speech
in which he endeayOred to clear himself OF
any part in the transaction. The subject
was then dropped. Various reports were
in circulation all day concerning the mat
ter and q good deal of feeling manifested.
As the questions were not sent to any Of
the printing offices, they could only have
been obtained by the carelessneSs or con-
niyanee of some of those who prepared
them. A number OF these letters were
sent out.
Mr.. Mann made reply this morning
in which he admitted the writing OF the
letter, but said that q year ago printed
copies of the questions were stolen and
sold to the teachers. Further, that in con-
versatiOn with a member of the Board Of
Examiners the scheme of selling the ques-
tiOnS beforehand to teachers was consider
ed q paying one, and that when he wrote
the above letter he had every reason be.
lieye the member of the Board of Ex-
aminers would furnish him the QueS-
tions. At this point County Superin-
tendent McCusick denied the member
of the Board of Examiners who
was referred to by Mr. Mann an oppOrtu-
nifty to reply. The question has caused a
good deal Of talk, and the County Super
intendent is receiving general censure.
